Allan & Rose:

Allan & Rose, rolling up their sleeves ready to ‘get into it’

“Hitched” on December 29th 1965, and during their 50 years of marriage, they have never had a fight – lol.

Their togetherness has resulted in the following:

Two wonderful children, Linda & Damian and their partners Markus and Alison

Five grandchildren varying in age from 26 to 3mths; Daniel, Aisha, Nicholas, Levi & Lucien.

Four great grandchildren; Zari, Lexi, Jaya and Emerson.

And lastly, and by no means least, we have a desire to voice our thoughts on Zero Carbon, Sustainability, Organic Food production, ‘Off Grid’ living, and supporting family, friends and our local community. NOT on a political platform, BUT as an expression of our convictions through our actions and example.

Some will love us….. others will despise us. However, we will be an open book making it very easy for anyone who seeks a sustainable and healthy future.

What a privilege it is to part of something far greater than ourselves. The march towards sustainable families, communities, countries and the whole planet must succeed or we as humanity are doomed. Maybe not in our limited life time, but God willing that will stretch out another 30 years or more but in the lifetime of our children’s, children’s children, and so on. That means that we must plant now for the future. Plant the trees of ideals, of example, of learning and teaching that will live far beyond us; trees that provide shade that we possibly will never enjoy.

In this regard, individually I can control but one person – me. So I have started planting. By myself the results will be small as I can only plant a finite number of trees. With Rose by my side, we will achieve at least twice as much. However, by our actions and example we may be able to influence a few others, maybe many; and this is our goal. But we are not alone in our quest. The march started generations ago, and is only now ramping up, gaining momentum and starting to be noticed.

We live in awe of those precious souls, now gone, who have laid the paving stones of ‘sustainability’ in the years gone by, toiling selflessly and un-rewarded for their exceptional efforts. The best way we see to honour them, is to walk on the road they have paved with the full intention of extending that path all the way to a totally sustainable existence here on earth.
